Abstract in brief

The research focuses on the emotional and psychological risks for pediatric siblings who donate hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), highlighting that this area is not yet fully explored.
A survey sent to transplant centers revealed that while many have procedures for obtaining donor assent, there is inadequate assessment of the psychological impact and limited follow-up care for these young donors.
The findings suggest a significant need for better policies and practices to address the psychological well-being of pediatric donors, calling for future studies to integrate comprehensive psychosocial evaluations.
